The Balangay Sailing Club (BSC) officially launched its First Sailing Activity for 2026 on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2026, sailing from Cubi-Cubi, Gumamela Beach to Pamela Beach, Buenavista. This coincided perfectly with the celebration of love and connection, as the club's members strengthened their bonds with the sea and each other.

Serving as a refresher course for BSC Second Year club members, the activity allowed them to review and apply fundamental sailing techniques and boat handling procedures. At the same time, it marked the introduction to advanced sailing for BSC First Year club members, allowing them to experience more challenging navigation and practical on-water training.

The sailing activity not only reinforced proper rigging, sail handling, and coordination at sea but also reflected the club’s mission to preserve maritime traditions and inspire a renewed appreciation for sailing. Through this first voyage of the year, BSC set a strong and purposeful tone for 2026—promoting discipline, cooperation, continuous learning, and the revival of sailing heritage among its members.

We at Balangay Sailing Club are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Mr. Rojo “Roy” Espiritu. He passed away doing what he loved, guided by a lifelong passion for the sea. Sailing was never just something Mr. Espiritu did — it was part of who he was, a place where he found freedom, purpose, and joy.

Our deepest condolences go to his family, friends, and all who sailed alongside him. Mr. Espiritu will be remembered not only as a sailor, but as someone who truly found himself on the water, and whose spirit will always be carried by the wind and waves he loved so much.

Sailboat Maintenance and Spare Parts Preparation During Visit of Mr. Brian Jones with BSC Members

On January 24, 2026, Mr. Brian Jones visited the club to briefly inspect the sailboats and provide additional tools for maintenance.

During the maintenance, the BSC members focused on creating new tillers so that if a tiller gets damaged during sailing, it could be quickly replaced without reducing the number of available boats. They also applied epoxy on sail parts to strengthen and extend their usability.

With the maintenance nearly complete, the members were finishing the last steps to get the sailboats ready for sailing again. The tools provided helped wrap up the work efficiently, ensuring that all boats were prepared for safe and uninterrupted sailing.
